- the attack was worse than first thought
- it will take longer than first forecast for Saudi to be back to "normal"
- it appears the end of September is the earliest Saudi would be back to "normal"
- most suggest back to "normal" will occur NET the end of October
- most agree that 5 million bopd were knocked out of the "pipeline" by the attack
- Saudi says they will make up the difference from their oil in storage
- the most interesting thing over on twitter regarding Saudi storage: no one really has the same number
- I've seen figures as low as 60 million bbls in storage
- I've seen figures as high as 400 million bbls in stoage
- the most "consistent" figure coming from the more "credible" sources has been 160 million bbls in storage
- prior to the attack, Saudi Arabia was dropping the amount of oil in storage for a number of reasons
- prior to the attack, in the month of July, 2019, Saudi Arabia's crude oil storage dropped by 8 million bbls
Later, 8:43 p.m. September 18, 2019: let us continue. I think this is a most incredible graphic. For some reason, Saudi Arabia has been deliberately filling customers' orders with oil from storage for the past several months, not from "new" oil:
This is an amazing graphic. Spend some time thinking about it.
